PHILADELPHIA — Born in Oklahoma, raised and trained as a football player in Florida, Riley Cooper has had few, if any, significant game-day weather challenges.

His worst?

“This,” he said after the Eagles’ 34-20 victory Sunday over the visiting Detroit Lions.

So it was.

Yet in an estimated eight inches of snow, in a game the Eagles will likely need when the playoff bids are being determined, Cooper produced a game-high 74 receiving yards and a key two-point conversion catch.

His secret: Embrace the moment, then embrace the ball.

“How could you be prepared for this?” he said. “It was fun. It was a fun football game. Everybody thought it was so wild and crazy. We just had fun with it. It was like I was a little kid.”

Cooper’s most significant contribution came with the Birds trailing, 14-0, midway through the third, when he caught a 44-yard pass from Nick Foles at the Detroit 19. One play later, Foles hit DeSean Jackson with a TD pass.

“It was a big play, a real tough catch,” Chip Kelly said. “Cary Williams came up to me and said that if we had an opportunity to throw a post or a corner route, it’s hard for a defensive back to make that up. Finally, we hit Riley on it. It was almost like that kind of got us going. It got our confidence back a little bit. And then we got rolling there.”

The Birds took their first lead, 22-20, with 13:23 left when LeSean McCoy blasted off left tackle for a 57-yard touchdown run and Cooper made a difficult catch of Foles’ two-point conversion pass.

Weather concerns? What weather concerns?

“I think it was hard for everybody out there,” Cooper said. “It was hard for receivers to get in and out of breaks. It was tough for the DBs to do the same. It was tough for both sides.”

Cooper, however, made the adjustments.

“You really have to focus with it,” he said. “You really have to focus on the ball into the tuck. You have to watch it all the way into the hands.

“Unfortunately, in games like that, if you can get the ball into the body, catch it there.”

In that, his plan was simple.

“There were no adjustments,” he said. “We just kept going at them. In a game like this, it isn’t going to be perfect. There are going to be drops. There are going to be bad throws. There are going to be missed assignments. When you’re in a game like that, with so much snow, there is going to be stuff like that.
